Treemendous Science!

Grades K-2

This unit is an invitation to increase your K-2 learners’ contact with nature and trees. Students explore and collect tree data to develop understandings about how trees grow, the roles trees play in ecosystems, and the ways in which trees and humans interact.

Energy in Ecosystems

Grades 3-5

This unit investigates the ways in which organisms depend on each other to survive and thrive. Students focus on forests—one of the largest and most complex types of ecosystems—and come to understand some of the interactions present in all ecosystems.

Carbon & Climate

Grades 6-8

Climate change may be the single biggest challenge that faces our planet today, but not everyone agrees about its scope, what effects it will have on people and the environment, or how we should address it. This unit engages students in critical thinking around some complex issues.
